CAWS buckshot is a type of load for the special-purpose 12 gauge CAWS cartridge developed by Heckler & Koch and Olin/Winchester for use in the Heckler ＆ Koch CAWS. It is a non-conventional buckshot shotgun shell.

Mazeworld overview

The variant used in Mazeworld uses tungsten 00 buckshot, a load that was supposedly never made by H&K (tungsten pellets they developed only included #2 buckshot), for the sake of simplicity in order to keep the same pellet mechanics as regular buckshot.

The above chart applies for ONE pellet, and may be multiplied by the amount of pellets that hit the target (up to 8). How to read this?

• Available for purchase in a gun shop or a weapon shop, in retail boxes of 10 rounds (40 P$/box)
• Value of a single round is 4 P$
• Recoil level of this round is 3 - Normal
• Propels up to 9 pellets per shot.

Usage notes

Buckshot is a multiple-projectile type of ammunition. The amount of projectiles hitting the target is variable, and is also influenced by the failure threshold; lower scores mean less chances to hit, and higher scores mean higher chances to hit.

• It must be noted that failure threshold modifiers work differently with multiple-projectile ammunition than with single-projectile ammunition. For every increased accuracy (FT-1) occurrence, add 1 to the dice score. Likewise, for every decreased accuracy (FT+1) occurrence, subtract 1 to the dice score.
  • Should the modified result ends up being 12 or greater, it counts as a critical hit of a natural 12. Likewise, if the modified result ends up being 2 or less, it counts as a critical failure of a natural 2.
